Next Step Community Solutions

Next Step Community Solutions is a nonprofit with a mission to create healthy, vibrant communities through training, education, mentoring, and counseling.

Founded in 1984, Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity Next Step has been located in Tyler, Texas since our founding in 1984. We were originally established as Sister Communities Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (SCCADA) to address the issues of youth alcohol and substance abuse. We have 3 programs that help create healthy communities through training, education, mentoring, and counseling:

Our Community Coalition Partnership Program works to bring concerned community forces together to prevent alcohol and drug abuse with East Texas youth. This program is funded primarily by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Our coalitions seek to alter community perceptions and public policy. We have three coalitions that support 9 counties. Our Comprehensive Counseling Program works alongside schools and juvenile probation offices to offer counseling services for less than the cost of a full-time district employee. Our Community Assistance Service helps citizens find the services they need to help them, or loved ones, overcome alcohol and/or substance abuse problems. Our staff helps them take that first step of calling the appropriate agency to schedule an assessment or counseling session.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be loud or perfect.

Sometimes self-love looks like pausing, taking a breath, and giving yourself permission to rest! If today feels heavy or overwhelming, this is your reminder that you’re doing enough, just by being here.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us that progress doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to keep going.

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."

Whether you’re moving forward in big steps or small ones, every effort matters. Growth, healing, and change all begin with continuing on, even when it’s hard.

If it’s weighing on you, it matters!
Counselors are here to help with everyday stress, school pressure, relationships, and big emotions. You don’t have to have all the answers, just the courage to ask.

Myth vs. Fact: Learn the truth about school counseling!

School counseling isn’t just for crises, it can be for stress, emotions, relationships, goal-setting, and everyday challenges too.
Talking to a counselor doesn’t mean something is wrong. It means you’re taking care of yourself!

It’s National School Counseling Week, and we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the incredible counselors of Next Step Community Solutions!

Our counselors are a vital part of every teen’s support system, walking alongside students and families to support emotional health, academic success, crisis response, future planning, and the real-life challenges teens face each day. They help carry the emotional load so parents don’t have to do it alone, and they remind teens that they always have someone in their corner.

Thank you to our counselors for the compassion, dedication, and care you bring to this work each school year! You truly make a difference!

Snow days aren’t always relaxing for students, and that’s okay!
Being stuck at home can bring boredom, stress, or big emotions. A little patience, flexibility, and connection can make a big difference.

Try to balance rest with structure, keep expectations realistic, and check in with your child, even if it’s just a quick “How are you doing today?”

And remember: you don’t have to parent perfectly. Showing up with care is enough!

Snowed in? Let’s turn it into a vibe!
Here are some fun ways to stay entertained, connected, and feeling good:

- Host a virtual game night — invite friends to play online and keep the laughs going
- Try a dance or trend — learn a TikTok dance or create your own
- Kitchen challenge — make a snack or bake something using what you already have
- Reach out to someone — text or call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while
- Get creative — draw, write, paint, or try a DIY project
- Do a 1-hour no-phone challenge — read, build, organize, or just recharge
- Start a movie marathon — pick a theme (comedies, throwbacks, or superhero films) and binge

Being snowed in can feel boring — but it can also be a chance to rest, reset, and have some fun!

It’s National Compliment Day!
Kind words have more power than we realize. They build confidence, strengthen connection, and remind people they matter.

Today, we challenge you to share at least one genuine compliment — with a friend, a loved one, or even yourself!
